Metal 3D printing builds parts directly from metal powder. A thin layer of powder is spread across the build platform, and a laser selectively melts or sinters the powder according to the CAD model. The platform then lowers, a new powder layer is applied, and the process repeats until the full metal part is completed.
After printing, parts are removed from the build plate, cleaned, support-removed, and post-processed based on final performance, accuracy, surface finish, and inspection requirements.
